FOREWORD

TheAnnual Plan is a formal statement of intent and represents the effort of all employees of Lord Fairfax Community College toward

fulfillment of the College mission. Citizens of the Colleges service region, including the counties of Clarke, Fauquier, Frederick, Page,

Rappahannock, Shenandoah and Warren, and the City of Winchester are fortunate to have a community college whose staff, faculty and

administration recognize their personal obligations to attract new students, retain current students, and to build relationships with area schools,

businesses, industries and government agencies.

The membership of the Planning Council, comprised of faculty, administrators, staff, and College Board representatives, believes this

document is more than a college planning document, it represents our commitment to continuously improve programs and services.

The attitude of continuous improvement is reflected in the Annual Plan in terms of input, involvement, collaboration and coordination of

all employees of this College community and expressed in unit plans. College initiatives represented in unit objectives and operational strategies for

the 2002-2003 planning cycle focus on the following institutional priorities.

The Colleges intention to fulfill its mission in the upcoming year is encompassed in the unit objectives, and operational strategies within this

document. The College community recognizes the importance of planning for the future success of our students, community, and College. With

continued visionary leadership, participation of the entire college community, and support of this Annual Plan, Lord Fairfax Community College will

continue to surpass former successes and achievements and fulfill the mission with renewed vigor.

THE PLANNING PROCESS

Lord Fairfax Community College is committed to a participative long-range and annual planning process. The primary goals of the planning

process are to support continuous improvement and to provide a clear sense of direction for the College. The culmination of planning activities

should have the added benefits of positive communication, a meaningful sense of direction for the work of each employee, inter-unit and inter-

divisional activities supporting and reinforcing each other, and enhanced morale for all within the institution. The sense of purpose or direction

7/29/2019 Plan Anual SACs 2002-2003

resulting from such planning will enable members of the organization to have knowledge of where the College is going and how their contributions

align with the overall College

The planning approach for LFCC is designed to maintain a high degree of flexibility, readiness to accommodate change, and the recognition

of the uniqueness of the organization. Although the basic principles of planning utilized are common to any substantial planning endeavor, the

LFCC approach emphasizes such important strengths as the cohesion of a small college; commitment and trust among the employees because oftheir dedication to the College; willingness to voluntarily carry the Colleges responsibilities associated with planning in order to fulfill

responsibilities for educational service; and faith that "giving" in the planning process will result in benefits and rewards for all.

This plan is based on the fiscal year July 2002 through June 2003 and is subdivided by the functional units of the College. While it should be

evident to all employees of the institution that planning is a pervasive process with numerous opportunities to plan during the year, this document

focuses on measurable unit objectives that are of high priority to the institution. Data from various sources (internal and external) are utilized to

frame the highest priority needs and/or issues. A planning retreat is held each year and is the mechanism by which all annual planning (formal and

informal) is synthesized into the Annual Plan. Throughout the year, individuals are encouraged to provide input into the planning process through

the many vehicles available to them; supervisors, members of the Planning Council or other committees and organizations. In this manner all issues

and/or needs can be heard and given appropriate consideration. Additionally, unit leaders are expected to meet throughout the year with members

of their unit and as a group prior to the planning retreat to brainstorm and articulate issues, and/or concerns that impact their work or the institution

in general.

The annual planning system at LFCC is transactional and aimed at the specific institutional moves, which keep the College on course while

accommodating change or unforeseen circumstances. Opportunity for broad participation in formulating goals, objectives and strategies of theAnnual Plan is important at LFCC since the College is committed to a broad participative style of operation.

Each functional unit of the College developed measurable unit objectives and operational strategies for the 2002-2003 planning cycle and

each unit objective reflects the following: long-range goal reference(s), time frame for completion, person(s) responsible, resources required, and

evaluation measures. LFCCs planning calendar is found on page 8 and a list of acronyms and abbreviations used in the document are found on the

following page.
